We’ve come to that point where The Wonderful World of Cinema (me) wants to expand its horizons and do something very original: a blogging series! I’m kidding you, this is not original at all as it has been done by several bloggers before. However, this is something that allows a blog to read more

Three Enchanting Ladies Ingrid Bergman in her hometown, Stockholm After exploring different Garbo-related places in Stockholm last weekend, I thought it would be a good idea to do the same today with our enchanting lady Ingrid Bergman! Ingrid was born on this day in 1915 and also passed away the s read more

It’s now been eight days since I landed in Stockholm, Sweden. What am I doing here? Well, as some of you might know, I got accepted to Stockholm University in the master program in Cinema Studies! So, this is my new town for at least a year. School only starts on September 2. Therefore, IR read more

The following text has initially been written for a class on film directors I attended at Concordia University. I hope you will appreciate it. It goes without saying that Sir Alfred Hitchcock is still one of the most acclaimed movie directors among contemporary cinephiles. His impressive filmography read more

We all have different reactions when it comes to watching classic films. Some overanalyze the meaning of the film, some get interested in its historical context, some develop a crush for and actor or an actress, some sing while watching a musical (I have a lot of difficulties not to sing while watch read more

Ready for another book review? Last time I praised what Gene Tierney had to say about her life. Since then, I’ve read Kirk Douglas’s autobiography entitled The Ragman’s Son (a reference to his father’s profession) and just finished it today. I’m glad I finally did. Not read more

British playwriter Noël Coward was considered one of the most prolific figures of the theatre world. Not only did he wrote plays, but also directed, acted (both on stage and in films), composed, and sang. Known for his unique fancy style and his originality, Noël Coward surely became an undeniable read more

On August 19, 2019, premiered the film Dans le Coffre [In the Trunk] at Fantasia International film festival, an even mostly taking place in Montreal since its creation in 1996.

If I could name one actress that I found totally intriguing, Joan Bennett’s name would probably at the top of my head. This might be because she is not the most famous or talked about star of the Golden age of Hollywood, so there’s sort of an aura of mystery around her. In the 30s, she read more

John Frankenheimer is one of those movie directors whose films, I feel, are so unique, that I couldn’t compare them with the work of anybody else. He fits, I believe,  in the category of those “authors”. But it’s subtle and you have to look at them with a lot of reflexions. read more

I don’t remember when was the last time I read a book so quickly. Indeed, I read Gene Tierney’s autobiography Self-Portrait in about a week. It’s not very long, 300 pages but small pages. But most of all, I read it quickly due to its greatness. I read the French version, which is read more

It often happens that, when I watch a film I think “hum, this film made me think of another one. Therefore, they would make a good double feature.” I have several ideas of interesting movie matches and I thought it was about time to write a blog post about it. However, I might do it in m read more

Here I am again, with another top list! But that’s not an ordinary one. Three years ago, I presented you a top 100 of my most favourite actors and, today, I’ve decided to do the same exercise because, obviously, in three years, tastes change. I discovered new actors. When I completed my read more

For a movie blogger, I’m conscious that it’s quite surprising that I haven’t written about any films directed by the late Miloš Forman, the Czech movie director who had a brilliant career both in Czech Republic (then Czechoslovakia) and in the United States. Not a long time ago, I read more

Visually, John M. Stahl’s Leave Her to Heaven (1945) might be one of the most colourful films noir you’ll ever see in your life, but its narrative line is probably among the darkest ones of the movement. This film taking place with beautiful natural landscapes, instead of notorious neig read more

Today, the highly celebrated movie director Frank Capra would have been 122 years old! For the occasion, I thought, what would be a better way to pay him tribute than with a top list of my favorite films of his?! I liked the idea of the top 5 format that we did for the Five Favourite Films of the F read more

Happy National Classic Movie Day to all! Today, for the occasion, Rick from Classic Film & TV Café is hosting the 5 Favorite Films of the 50s Blogathon. I don’t think I need to explain further what it’s all about! The 50s being one of my top favorite decades in cinema history, I was read more

Mid-April has been a total blast for me as I’ve attended the TCM Classic Film Festival for the first time! This was on my bucket list for a long time but, since I’m usually at school when the event happens, it has never been really possible for me to go before. However, as I’ve ex read more
